Class Group and Intergroup Dynamics

  • Presentation

    Presentation

    This course explores group and intergroup dynamics and processes based on extensive research in social psychology, both classic and contemporary. It will cover fundamental processes and dynamics within groups, such as group formation, motivation and collective performance, group decision-making, and group identification. Additionally, intergroup processes will be addressed, including the formation of stereotypes and prejudices, as well as attitudes and behaviors towards outgroups. The main objective of this course is to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of how these dynamics operate within and between groups in various contexts.

  • Teaching methodologies and assessment

    Teaching methodologies and assessment

    In this course, we will use an active learning methodology where the student is placed at the center of the process, stimulating their autonomy. To achieve this, the teaching-learning process is based on reading and discussing supporting texts (theoretical chapters or empirical articles), and students will be assigned the responsibility of facilitating discussions for each supporting text throughout the semester. The texts will be provided in advance, allowing students to develop a critical perspective to be presented and discussed in class. Additionally, some classes will include group activities to introduce program content in a more practical and experiential manner, serving as a starting point for class discussions.

    The evaluation will focus on the facilitation of in-class discussions, participation in discussions, and completion of individual assignments involving analysis and critical reflection, applying the program contents covered.
